Massive harvest mode before the weekend cold (frost warning) and some cold wet weather early next week. Going to be pulling some late nights trimming as the plants simply wont fit anywhere for dry trim. Took samples early and always like smoking a harvest’s output while i trim. Since a tiny...

Found rot on a few big colas..its all coming down with the cold nights coming and rain early next week. Happy to have made it into October and all milky trichs so only a bit early. How do you guys manage these huge harvests? All dry trimming? Seems like a hell of a mess to hang entire plants...

Awesome. Based on these responses I’ll probably cut at least half the big colas as a precaution :)

Thanks for your reply and the one before! I havent had major rot before. How quickly can it set in? Would it show on a few colas one day and then be plant-wide the day after or would it slowly take a crop over a week if the spots were plucked out? Last year we had rot here and there but...

Hey everyone. Wanted some consensus here. I have some crazy big C99 plants outside. They are over 8’, bushy and gorgeous. Right now they are packing on weight and density. Trichs are at least 95% cloudy if not 100% but zero amber. Still white pistils but ive seen them starting to die off...

I just pulled the trigger on the Mosca S1 Feminized C99 seeds. I'm putting them under 800W of Vero29 Cob LEDs.

That first pic looks a heck of a lot like a bud thats completely full of rot from the inside out...maybe its just the color?

What about Mosca Seeds? Great Lakes Genetics has S1 Fem C99 seeds from them....not sure if any quality.

If there ahould be zero chance of nutes not being available and i PH my water to 6.8, would that point to a cause unrelated to nutrients making the leaves start to yellow? Might it support the idea this is light bleaching of some kind?

I am trying to sleuth a problem with three of my plants. These three plants are semi-established clones I acquired (~1 month old) of Pineapple Kush. I acquired them and they were in an odd early flowering state with some pistils showing ut no budding. They are extremely bushy with incredibly...

Ok thanks everyone. Sounds like i may have some residual gains by more effectively cooling my lights but that the goal of more efficientyly cooling the lights isnt to reduce overall heat in the room but instead increase how well the lights perform in terms of light. Im installing a 6" s-line...

Quick question about the mechanics of cooling COB LEDs via heatsinks. I have 800W of Vero29s running in my room. They all use passive heat sinks. 400w is a timber grow lights fixture with splined 130-140mm sinks and the other 400W is a DIY build using 130mm pin sinks. I had a mechanical...

I have a 200W 4-bay T5HO rig I veg under but I have a 400W 3500K Cob LED rig I think would be far superior. I think I'm going to veg them all together for 2 weeks and then probably start the larger ones flowering while I put the others into veg for another 2 weeks.

You make a really good point....since I have two lights and veg doesnt require a light-proof room I could technically just use half the "grow room" to flower the three larger plants until finished and in the meantime do an extended veg on the 6 seedlings with the second light and then when the...

Looking for a little advice on how I should best manage the growing situation I have in front of me. I have a 18 square foot growing area (6' X3') into which I am putting 800W of Vero 29 COB LEDs that can be dimmed. Two separate lighting rigs designed for 3X3 footprint grows but its a single...
